GF depressed self harm

[xhelgrindx]

I think my gf is depressed. We've talked and she says she wants to cut herself and self harm idk what to do what can i do to handle the situation. Idk what to do.

[Fiction]

Reassure her. Be there for her. Tell her that self harm will do so much more harm than it will good.
All you can really do is be there for her, let her vent her emotion by talking to you about it, rather than by cutting.

I say tell her that it's going to be okay, and that you'll be there for her no matter what she says. We all need to be told it's going to be okay from an outside influence, because most of the time, we don't listen to ourselves so others are usually better. I suggest that you advise her to look up what self harm is before actually trying it, or even doing it, because the more you understand about it the more it makes you deter from cutting or any sort of self harm. Keep talking to her and don't let her feel alone, it's around now when she needs you most and for you to remain the strong on, even though that is hard, she needs the reassurance and so do you, good luck :)

↑ what these two said.

Reassurance is key! If you can make her feel better about herself, take her mind off things or prevent her from self harming by letting her use you as moral support, then you'll improve her situation.

What everyone else has said, pretty much sums it up, reassure her and be there for her.
Try and make her feel better and make sure she knows that she can come and talk to you, and just generally support her

dont get mad, and don't be mean. Be supportive.

[Weeping]

Be there for her. Whatever happens, just be there. Try your best being supportive and try talking her out of it. I know it'll be hard, for both of you, but try! And don't be like mad or mean to her, that will just make her feel worse.
